Down vote away poors. 50k if you are paying rent or a mortgage and have a car is barely getting by. It’s under $1000 a week pre-tax. So doing an average by month would be $4166 per-tax. Minus let’s say 18% or $750 for taxes effectively at the end of the year (obviously varies person to person based on deductions etc. leaves you with approximately $3416. $1500 for rent assuming you Got a good deal. $1916. Hopefully you didn’t overspend on a car but a below average payment would be $400 brings you to $1516. This is before any goodies like cellphone, streaming services, insurance, gas, food, Cable/internet, gym. Hopefully you are also saving at minimum 10% of your net but who knows.

Expect your car insurance to increase. Not sure about living in Pawtucket, but when I moved, my insurance went up over $100/month.

Short answer is no

You’ll live. Not well, but you’ll survive.

Vet tech here. Hill & Harbor in East Greenwich has a doc who does exotics and works with wildlife at another place. Highly recommend. 👍🏼

Thanks 😊

I think u/derpbeluga gave you a great breakdown of practical costs. Just for a statistical view (which I always find helps me put my own financial circumstances in perspective) the median household income in RI is $74,489 (according the 5-year average of the US Census Bureau's Annual Community Survey between 2017-2021). Meanwhile, households on average contain 2.46 people. So, you'll almost certainly be doing better than the majority of households with two or more people in RI.

And car repairs

I think it's doable without other bills. Considering that's probably what I made and paid for a mortgage but rent is even higher than my mortgage now lol. It'd be tight after utilities, gas, car insurance, and food but definitely doable.

sorry to hear this happened. if i see any two people on kayaks, i will citizen's arrest them and comment back on here.

You’d have to be pretty frugal. I make just over 60K and I am barely getting by. Rent is high right now.

Ocean State is your best bet for quality exotic care. They are excellent

I work and live in Pawtucket and make about 10k more, I own my house and pay about 2k on mortgage and bills every month, I live comfortably but in the winter my energy bills go way up. Depends on your lifestyle really

It maybe we make some nuclear plants in the middle of nowhere and forget about this

My car is paid off so just a couple of hundreds for insurance and phone bill.

I would say yes, specially if you do not want to fancy out your life. Your only have to keep an eye on your expenses if you eat out every day.

Get a roommate and then probably

He said he had no other big bills so safe to assume no car payment, probably just insurance or maybe he uses public transit now?

I just looked at 1BRs for rent in Pawtucket and they’re around $1,000-1,5000/mo so if it’s just you and no big bills, you absolutely can. That’s about $18k a year in rent. If you don’t have a huge grocery bill (we do have aldi here which is great!) the only other big bill you may have would be heating/cooling costs depending on the method where you rent. Many NE homes still have oil tanks. Totally doable and RI (New England in general) is an amazing place to live.

honestly who cares about mob hits or drug-related shootings? The mobs not whacking regular good people, and as far as the petty drug-related shootings... thats its own bubble. The mob is pretty silent and clean these days but I will say it's very sad when you have low income areas so harshly affected by a couple of degenerates who want to fight over there small potatoes turf and subsequently otherwise innocent people get hurt. stray bullets and all that. The real problem in this country is these mass shooters who target defenseless children
